Natural ventilation has the potential to reduce first costs and operating costs for some commercial buildings while maintaining ventilation rates consistent
As a prerequisite to a comprehensive analysis of aircraft fuel tank fire and explosion hazards, a vapor-liquid equilibrium thermodynamic analysis was developed
An experimental study is presented for droplets containing an alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foam (AR-AFFF) impacting and boiling on a heated stainless
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Building and Fire Laboratory (BFRL) are working with the U.S. Fire Administration
The frequency domain technique is applied to measure the photodegrdation rate offluorescein in aqueous solutions. The illuminating light is modulated and the
A Round Robin was organized to measure ferrite (FN) levels in the weld metal of five stainless steel weldments, including: types AISI 308H (with controlled
It has been well established that the dynamic range of phase Doppler interferometry (PDI) size measurements is limited by the photomultiplier tubes (PMT). A
A method for multiscale modeling of point defects such as vacnacies and interstitials at the atomistic level and extended defects such as free surfaces and
Spin-transfer torques occur in magnetic heterostructures because the transverse component of a spin current that flows from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet is
We describe a new, efficient approach to the imposition of exact nonreflecting boundary conditions for the scalar wave equation. We compare the performance of
Websites are often organized into logical hierarchies, or tree structures, in order to help users navigate. Ideally, users could view the entire tree, or jump
This document describes the testing of dd (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36 as a disk imaging tool on a Linux platform. The Linux version used was Linux version 2.4.2-2

The continuing drive by the semiconductor industry to fabricate smaller structures with photolithography will soon require dimensional control at length scales
Total ionization cross sections of neutral carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms by electron impact are presented. In our theory we have included possibilities
We present the results of an experiment to observe inhibited spontaneous emission of a parametric downconverter by an optical cavity whose switching time is
The application of technological advances has dramatically improved our ability to measure the value of g, the free-fall acceleration due gravity. Over the past
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers a variety of hundreds of measurement services to its customers as a part of it's core mission
We investigate the shape dependence of the scattering by dielectric and metallic particles on surfaces by considering particles whose free-space scattering
We consider the problem of cold atomic collisions in tight traps, where the absolute scattering length may be larger than the trap size. As long as the size of
A literature survey of experimental and theoretical work on atomic transition probabilities of astrophysical interest published during the last 3 years is
